Old acquaintances, new allies, and changing loyalties of warrior houses are seen, as they conspire and maneuver for the recently vacated throne of Banteave. Houses intricately dance through whispers and conversations, and a chase leads to a sword fight, ending in a death.

The King is Dead, a Roleplaying Game, is a tabletop roleplaying game by D. Vincent and Meguey Baker about warriors from different houses vying for a throne currently held by an infant heir. You can find the game at the following links:
